Hiya. :) I'm a 27 year-old Texas A&M graduate (c/o '03, whoop!). I work full-time for a small oil & gas company as a Petroleum Engineer, but still like to find time in the evenings to cook for my boyfriend and friends. I've come a looonnngggg way in my culinary expertise over the past two years, and I really enjoy finding and trying out new recipes! :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Helping my mom make Malaysian dishes... Rendang, lontong, nasi lemak... yummy. :) Lots of aromatic ingredients not traditional to dishes found here in the U.S.
My cooking triumphs
I've finally mastered the art of correctly seasoning foods -- I used to have the tendency to over-salt/season a lot of times.
My cooking tragedies
Hmm... trying to bake a chocolate cake in the microwave when I was a child? :) I'm sure there's been some since then... probably over-cooking chicken/seafood.
